Dear Hisham, Noreen and I were looking at some of our slides and pictures of our trip to Egypt, and I got to think what a wonderful time we had. Much of that wonderful trip is due to you. I don’t think that our trip would have been anywhere near as terrific if it hadn’t been for you. You were always there and made everything run smoothly—and you did this with a smile, friendliness, and the utmost courtesy. Thank you especially for the side trip to the Sadat monument. I was deeply touched by being there, and I could tell that you were deeply affected, too. We plan on returning to Egypt, for there is much more to see and do. You can be sure that we will use your services when we do.
All my best,
Frank Davis

Bibliotheca of Alexandria
The Royal Library of Alexandria in Alexandria, Egypt, was once the largest library in the world. It is generally thought to have been founded at the beginning of the 3rd century BC, during the reign of Ptolemy II of Egypt, after his father had built what would become the first part of the library complex, the temple of the Muses—the Musaion (from which is derived the modern English word museum)....

It has been reasonably established that the library or parts of the collection were destroyed by fire on a number of occasions (library fires were common enough and replacement of handwritten manuscripts was very difficult, expensive and time-consuming).
